4. Connect the battery charger only to mains with such
a voltage as stated on the type-bearing plate.
5. Use only the original battery.
6. Never charge the battery with a battery charger
from other producer. This can result in the battery
being damaged or it can result in an injury due to
over-heating.
7. During a long-term operation, the battery may heat
up. Let it cool down before charging it.
8. Do not store the battery charger and the batteries
within children's reach.
9. Do not use the battery charger in an environment with
vapors or inflammable fluids.
10. Charge the batteries only at a temperature within the

11. Store the battery at temperatures up to 30°C only.
Higher storage temperatures may result in damage
to the battery. The ideal storage temperature range
is 10-15°C.
12. Protect the battery from heat, intense insolation and
fire. Explosion hazard!
13. In case of damage to the battery, hazardous vapours
or fluids may escape. In case of incidental contact
flush with water and seek medical advice immedi-
ately. The fluid may have irritating or caustic effects
on the skin.
14. Never short-circuit the contacts of the batteries and
never interconnect them with metal objects.
15. When transporting the battery, take care that the
contacts are not interconnected, do not use metal
transportation containers.
